Koohan Paik on the TPP, Militarization of the Asia-Pacific

Koohan Paik is Coordinator of the Asia-Pacific program at the International Forum on Globalization and the author most recently of "Islanders Unite to Resist a New Pacific War." In this episode, she discusses how trade policy under the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the U.S. military's "Pacific Pivot," and other bilateral trade agreements and joint military exercises are not only militarizing the Asia-Pacific region, but destroying precious and unique environments on island communities.
